The Federal Capital the City of Baltimore of W as hington threatened — within an ace of falling into the hands of the Confederates,--Mr CHASE but very recently yieldin g up his financial responsi bilities when gold was up to 270 p e r cent.—Pre naancial' sident ABRAHAM LINCOLN completing his arbi trary career by a series of despotic ac t s (extrava pnt even as coming from him) among a cts of his being the o taking viole n t of two newsp a p er establishments, 6 possession and tow setting at open &fiance the civil jurisdiction of the Courts - • o f Law by a vio l ation of the public liber t i es, amoun ting to nothing less than an ess act of military usur pation. Such, in a single sentence, are a few among th e more significant facts brought to light by th e later tidings received from the. opposite shores of the Atlantic. As they have invariably done hitherto, ever since the cemmencement of this most wretched and destructive of civil wars, now nearly four dis tracted years ago, these tidings come to us, still most confusedly. Nevertheless, out of all their cus tomary confusion, the facts themselves evolve, more and more comprelienoibly every mail, a under kirbiamminerortiamm , fully impressive significance of their ol vn. The four remarkable particulars above e an. merated and thereupon grouped together, dif. ferent though they are in their character and in their bearing may with a homely force of truth be said in one sense to be all of a piec e. In conclusive, though they may be deemed by the more infatuated believers in the eventual . se.premacy of the Federal Government over the so-called rebels or secessionists —even if they are thus superciliously to be depreciated as so many mere straws upon the I surface —they are at the very least singularly note worthy if only by reason of their indicating, each and all of them together, not merely the motive in which, but the increasingly accelerated pace at which the tide of events is running there in North America. Instead of its being the Confede rate capital of Richmond that is threatened—it is the Federal capital of Washington. Instead of its being any one of the wealthier Southern towns'' that seems doomed to fall into the grasp of a Nor. them army of invasion—it is a Confederate force that appears to be advancing steadily to the capture of the Federal city of Baltimore. So far, again, from its being the South that is, so to speak, in any very dire extremity financially—it is the North, that after watching the fearful rise of gold to the unprecedented extent of 270 per cent. has, thereupon, beheld its model financier, as if in de spair, vacating his high post, and withdrawing into seclusion, after the manner of NECKER or of COLONNE. Finally—it is not the Confederate President, it is the Federal President—it is not JEFFERSON it is ABRAHAM LINCOLN who seems to be eager at every opportunity for so doing, more and more wantonly to violate the public liberties, to sweep aside the baubles of the civil authority, to fling the sword of the State, as it were, whenever the whim of the moment prompts him to do so, into the delicately balanced scales of justice, to seize with the ungainly grasp of a sort of a Burlesque Despot, now the rights of individuals, now again what might but yesterday have been deemed the inalienable prerogatives of the Courts of Law. The Governor of New York, Governor SET. MOUR that is, having declined to enforce the Federal army (the army of defence, as it may be called) at Washington, has followed up his refusal so to do, by calling out seventy-five thousand men to withstand the summons of the PRESIDENT by en forcing the process of the State Courts in opposition to the rule of the military Government. The civil authority thus rising in vindication of its rights and privileges, Mr. LINCOLN, according to his arbitrary wont, has now directed General Dix, as his armed representative, to set at open de. fiance the majesty of the courts of law by coolly jurisdiction. It is as flagrant i gnor ing their civil an incident in its way as though the old Roman Senators had been bearded, not by foreign invaders like the soldiirs of BRENNUS, but by the liotors of the Consuls themselves or of some temporary Dic tator. The situation, in truth, if less momentous, is almost, we night say, more interesting at this moment, between Governor SEYMOUR and Presi dent LINCOLN than between general GRANT and General LEE—(and this chiefly by reason of its profound signficanee. Mr. AYRTON'S remarks were very appropriate the other evening. The hon. member addressed himself to a very ungracious task, for it is well known that from our present Government we can get neither assistance nor sympathy when the sub. ject treated, of is the claim of the oppressed, and anyone sufficiently self-sacrificing, or possessed of hardihood enough to throw himself in the breach must perforce expect to meet with very cavalier treatment; or, what is worse, he is almost certain to fail in attaining the result of his efforts. It is nevertheless very desirable that some protest should be made • about the actual state of affairs and some remarks uttered, or else the world will think that we are all grown indiffe rent to the cause of justice, the claims of labour, and the fair and equitable adjustment of the. rights of nations, Mr. AYRTON called attention to the balance of power in Europe, and certainly it is a question which almost before all others ought to occupy notice and engage deep concern. The pre sent prospect of the politics of Europe is so ex ceedingly unsatisfactory, and the prevailing course that is adopted by our Government so tame and in conclusive that notably at no period of our history has there been more grave cause for disquiet than now exists, touching onrjust influence with other nations, secure as we may feel of our own intrinsic resources. For a country like this it is not enough that we are not molested, or treated with open defiance ; it should not suffice that we are left alone, but we ought to keep up the position to which we are entitled. Other kingdoms not so great or powerful, and pos sessed of far fewer resources, contrive to do more and exert a more potent influence than we do, and if in one thing mere than another the rulers of affairs seem to fail it is in matters relative to the balance of power. There is a great deal of talk, an immense number of despatches written, but all ends in the same unsatisfactory conclusion, that we can do nothing, and no matter how aggressive is the proposal, how unfair the demand of our neighbours or allies, it is sure in the end to be acceded to than because we are too unwilling or unable to meet the case in a proper attitude. It is often better to state things in a plain form, and this Mr. AYRTON did very effectually when he observed that the sum of fifteen millions was voted for the standing army, and we were told that this was kept up for the -purpose of " defending our colonies, the safety of our own country, and the maintenance of the balance of power in Europe. " Certainly so far as regards the tatter purpose we might as well save the expense, for no one can say very much is being done to secure that desirable end. There is great truth in the re marks of Mr. AYRTON, that Prussia is now assum ing a position totally at variance with the princi ples of the Treaty of Vienna. Lord PALMERSTON, however, declares that we are bound by all the sti pulations of that treaty, while he allows the Prus sians and Austrians to fulfil their designs and to break the treaty of 1852. Mr. AYRTON forcibly concluded his speech by saying that the people of England had spent during the last six years a hundred millions for the purpose of maintaining the balance of power in Europe, and in favour of a Power which did not scruple to break the peace of Europe for its own purposes. Lord PALMERSTON, as usual,made a ray ineffectual attempt to disguise his real object, and stated that he was not there as the champion of Prussia. This is very absurd when all his actions tend to that direction, and it would really be more straightforward if he boldly and openly avowed his predilections, than thus shirk responsibility by attempting to disharm criticism. The result is ever the same in regard to all matters that relato to the German Powers. Nothing whatever is to be done to thwart their views) T,Nishcs, or intentions, CELL tncir rup ture of treaties, the non-fulfilment of engage ments, and the provocation of hostilities on the part of thes e f avoured States are a ll con doned, while in all affairs that concern their interests, we must keep to the letter of the law, and be sure to fulfil every part of the engagement. All this sacrifice to an aggressive and overwhelming power will not Answer in the long.raa, And, it would be well for Prussia and her ally to take I heed to the warnings of a French journal, which bids them remember that there will come a day of retribution, and that in the long-ran they will not be gainers by the unfair course they are now pursuing, When the day of reckoning arrives no one will pity them ; but the unfortunate thing is that their losses will not be gain to the unhappy victims of their perfidy at present. Nothing can restore the lives that have been wasted—the pro• przty destroyed—and the general discomforture •caused by this outrageous and uncalled-for war. It seems most incomprehensible that the Ministers of this country should so abrogate their rights to defend the injured, and so utterly fail in ful filling their requirements. It is one of those lamentable occurrences that are an ineffaceable stain on the records of a nation, and which more than any visitation of PROVIDENCE, darkens the career of a people, for nothing is so much to be deplored as a want of good faith. It is often the fate of wise legislators and far sighted statesmen to devote long years of toil and anxiety to the foundation of works of which they never see the completion. It is often their lot when in office to lay down some line of policy which, when carried out, brings credit and ease to their successors. And in every sphere of life we may, more or less, find that those who bear the brunt of the battle, who inaugurate great changes, who originate schemes of reform, who go through the dry and tedious processes necessary to prepare the ground for future development, are the last to reap the fruits of the harvest they have sown,if, indeed, any portion of it comes to their share at all. By a natural consequence it, therefore, frequently hap pens that men in places of trust and importance sometimes come in for the benefit of a success with which they have really had little to do, and are able to claim credit which does not actually belong to them. One of these happy chances has just befallen our Indian Secretary ; and Sir CHARLES WooD, with the natural aptitude of an experienced Whig statesman, is very ready to wear the laurels which Fate has so kindly brought him. Palmam qui meruit ferat is an exploded and inconvenient doctrine, and the lucky individual who gets the palm may just as well retain it for his own use as pass it on to those more deserving but less prominent. Accordingly we find Sir CHARLES WOOD congratulating himself on the Indian finances, and the general development of a country whose progress he has done a good deal to hinder. Within the last few years, more especially since the cctton famine, India has made rapid progress. The cultivation of cotton, of tea, and of coffee, the increased cultivation of land, and the extension of railways into the interior, have all contributed to the present flourishing condition of the country, and are evidences of its material pros- perity. Whether even now India is what it might have been under a more liberal and enlightened administration may be doubted, notwithstanding the favourable issue of the Budget; but, at least, we may be glad that in a financial point of view there is a satisfactory balance. Three years ago the chronic deficiency of the Indian Budget was re. duced to £50,000. In the year ending April, 1863, there was a surplus of £1,800,000. In the year ending with last April there was a surplus of £257,000; and Sir CHARLES TREVELYAN, no inexperienced or theoretical financier, anticipates a surplus of £823,000 for the current year, Several of the taxes have been reduced, and it is proposed altogether to abandon the Income Tax, as part of the general revenue, and only to retain it for pur- poses of local taxation. This is not, however, so much due to the flourishing condition of the revenue as to the unsatisfactory result of the tax, which gave too good an opportanity for Eastern craft and falsehood to produce a return at all commensurate with the property of the people. The salt tax is still retained, which is the greater hardship on the people, since tha manufacture of native salt in Bengal has been altogether abandoned for the con sumption of English salt. It is urged in behalf of this impost that it is the only means of taxing the coolie, who lives on rice and water, and scarcely wears rags ; but this is a false system, and we should be following a truer principle in endeavour ing to raise the condition of the people, and increase their wants, rather than by grinding them down with oppressive duties on bare necessaries. The opium revenue, which is the most fluctuating source of income, was the principal feature in the high surplus of 1862-63, the amount received from it in that year alone being L 8,055,000, the increase on that sole item being £1,696,000, while in the last year, owing to the state of trade with China, the amount fell off by £1,200,000. More satisfactory and more to be depended on is the increase perceptible in other branches of revenue. Compared with the statistics of 1856-7, the year before the mutiny, the land revenue has increased by £3,250,000 owing to the larger extent of land cultivated ; stamps have increasd £1,100,000 and customs and salt together have increased £3,000,000. This last item is not at all in proportion to the others, the low returns from customs being ono of the most unsatisfactory items or Indian finance. Still, in this as in other points, we most trust to the gradual inorease of civilisation. The extension of the railways is undoubtedly one of the great means of preserving tranquillity in India, as well as of stimulating and developing trade. It is a pity that since the beneficial results of im proved communications are so immediately apps. rent, a little more attention is not shown to the navigation of the splendid rivers of the country. Mr. B. SMITH, in alluding to this unaccountable neglect cited, as an instance, the Godavery, which has a course of 2,500 miles, only 400 miles of which are navigable. But, a species of official hydrophobia appears to animate the authorities, as Sir ARTHUR COTTON might testify with regard to his water• works at the Delta of the Godavery- Notwith standing the thin House and the late period of the session, Sir CHARLES WOOD'S statement was not allowed to pass uncriticised. Hon. members ob jected very properly to a matter of so much im portance being hurried over at the very end of the session, instead of being fully and fairly discussed when time and opportunity favoured. Even as it was, however, Sir CHARLES WooD was reminded that the obstacles he has put in the way of reclaim ing the waste lands have eeriously hindered the development of the country's resources. As the law at present stands, the intending purchaser , has to go to the cost and trouble of a preliminary survey before it can be put up to public auction, when any speculator who chooses to outbid him may profit by his experience, and the price of laud is often thus raised to a factitious value. As Mr SEYMOUR observed, while ether countries are competing for English capital and English energy, in India it is thought a favour for the Government to allow emi grants to cultivate the soil, and an emigrant going to India, with a view to coffee planting, has to wait twelve months before land is put up for sale. More encouragement should be given to English enter prise and capital. As it is the great improvement in the state of the Indian finances and the condi tion of the Indian people is due to these agen cies, but there is surely no reason why uunecesstiry THE, SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 23, 1864. and artificial difficulties should be put in their way LATEST IkITELLIGENCE. by official prejadice and the paralysing spirit of LREUTER'S TELEGRAMS.] routine. The Despatch of Additional Troops to Japan, Yesterday morning were issued the following eespatches relative to the transport of additional troops to Japan : Head. quarters, Hong Kong, May 30, 1864, My Lord, —I have the honour to enclose a copy of a de spatch from Sir Rutherford Alcock, requesting the re mainder of her Majesty's 20th Regiment, now at Hong Kong, to be sent on to Yokohama, with as little delay as possible, for service in Japan ; and, as soon as transport can be provided by the navy, the troops will be despatched. I have to add, I shall for the present detain the women and children at Hong Kong. I beg also to forward a copy of Colonel Gordon's proceedings up to the latest date.--1 have, &c. (Signed W. G.

Sir,--The present aspect of affairs in this country renders it expedient, in my opinion, that the remainder of the 20th Regiment, now at Hong-Kong, should be sent here. I have therefore requested Vice-Admiral Sir A. Kuper, to place the means of transport at your disposal, and have now to beg that advantage may nov be taken of it to send ,the remaining portion with as little delay as possible. I have called upon the Japanese Government to provide the neces sary barrack accommodation, and I trust that it may be ready for them on their arrival. Barrdck furniture, how. ever, will be found, and if, al I understand, it has been already supplied to the regiment, I think it would be de• sirable that they should bring what they may require with them. As regard➢ tent equipage, my present object is to have the regiment quartered here for the protection of this settlement, in the event of de squadron being required to undertake operations at a distance. But is impossible to say, in view of future contingencies and the unsettled state of the country, whether the regiment, or a portion of it, may not also be required to enter into active operations from this place.—l have, &c., (Signed) RUTHERFORD ALCOCK, Her Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary in Japan.

There is good reason to believe that General Lee has for some time past contemplated this movement. `Weeks have elapsed since we heard that Ewell's corps had suddenly disappeared from the front of Grant's lines on the Chickahominy. In all proba bility, the advance was decided upon so soon as Grant's direct line of communication with Wash. ington was interrupted, and the pursuit of Hunter's corps was merely an accident. The intention, doubtless, was to sweep away every Federal soldier from the Shenandoah, and crush any army that ventured to oppose the march. Hunter's partial success may have impeded—it certainly did not hurry on—Ewell's movement. Bat nobody could have played the Confederate game better than the General who, advancing with his base in the air down the Shenandoah valley upon Lynchburg, retreated when attacked in exactly the opposite direction to that in which alone his army might have been available for the defence cf the Northern frontier. It is possible that Hunter had no other alternative, and that only his rapid march to Gauley, Western Virginia, saved his force from destruction. But under any circumstances he has succeeded in neutralising an army of veterans which at the present time would be of immense service to the North, and but for his glaring bad generalship the invasion of the North would have been a far more critical undertaking. It would seem that the defence of Lynchburg was entirely the work of the small body of Confede rates who fought at Stanton under General Jones ; and that Ewell, leaving Lynchburg to its fate, marched directly upon the Shenandoah valley, with a view of cutting off Hunter from his commu nications, and occupying the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. In both objects he has succeeded. Hunter is isolated and powerless to strike a blow ; and long before he cell be in a position to make any serious demonstration in Ewell's roar, the mischief will have been done. Moreover, there can be no rein forcements from the - Western States, and Baltimore and Washington must depend for their safety on their undrilled militia. The question is, whether this movement is a mere raiding expedition, or a counterstroke against Grant's plan of campaign ; although in neither case does it leave any doubt ae to the issue of the struggle before Richmond. The gathering up of the rich harvest of the Shenandoah, of the great depots along the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and of the large stores in Maryland, would be no slight gain to Lee; but we are inclined to think that something more than a mere raid is in. tended, a w lthatof h s the object is to compel Grant's h army for the protection of the witdr and a Maryland and Pennsylvania.

The accounts are of course conflicting. Pet one moment the Northern news papers describe th) invasion as a mere bo rder foray ; the next -a7 they are full of terror at the f o rmidable muster o ° t h e i nva d ers , an d picture two a or three whole corpsmarching upon the capit al . A move all uncertainty. For t he pre sent it seems to 118 that General Leo is on th e eve of a movement which few days will re will surpass in importance, and in its results, any previous operation of th e war. is in itself omin ous.

There are no More flank move ments to be made. There is li tt l e pros pect of a successful assault. The only thing left is to shell the town and amuse the Northern people by a repetition of the siege of Charl es t on . This in all probability will be the end of the operations before Petersburg. How much longer the Federal army will remain in its present positi on d epen d s much more on the issue of the expediti on under E we ll than the plans of Gen. Grant. For the time the interests o f the war centres in the movements of the Confederate troops north of and even The position of not Sherman's of Grant's army is a matter of secondary i mpor tance.

Northerners ern ers have amidst the execrations of the Northern people. Already there are symptoms of defiance to the cen tral authority. Governor Seymour's refusal to permit the departure of the New York troops at the call of the President may be the first act in another independence drama. There is conspiracy in Ken tucky and martial law. There is Mr Vallandigham in Ohio. It is hardly possible not to connect some of •these political facts with the strategy of General Lee, and to conclude that some other purpose be sides that of obtaining supplies on Northern soil, has dictated the renewed invasion of the Northern States by the Confederate armies.

The National Assembly in its sitting of to.day has censured the conduct of the Minister of War as unconstitutional, he having incurred expenses not authorised by the Budget, and without previously asking the Assembly to vote the neces‘ sary credit. A Ministerial crisis is imminent. ALGERIA. PARIS, JULY 23. A report of the Minister of War has been pub lished to-day, followed by an Imperial decree modi fying the administration of Algeria. The report says the insurrection was not only caused by the fanaticism, but still more by an un founded hope of surprising the vigilance of the authorities, who were believed to be disarmed be. cause divided in their action. The report, therefore, proposes to increase the power and responsibility of the generals command ing divisions, making the prefects subordinate to them, and entrusting them with the administration of the natives established beyond the limits of the communal districts. DENMARK. A communication from Copenhagen of the 16th says:—"The discussion on the Address in the Landsthing yesterday lasted three hours and a half, and terminated by the adoption of a second reading. The Ministry had demanded the rejection of the draft. But although the President of the Council declared that the Government did not attach any great importance to the modifications to be intro. duced into the document, the Ministry has met with a little cheek which has its signification, because it shows that the situation as regards the Rigsraad is about to become difficult if not impossible. The discussion on the Address in the i Volkething will probably commence on the 18th instant, and there is every reason to believe that it will be oven more animated than in the First Chamber. The peace party has become most active, and carries on its propagandism with as much zeal as the war party did before the Danish military disasters. The Chamberlain Berner-Schilden, who has large landed property in Jutland, is having an address circulated and signed in favour of peace, which contains serious recriminations against the Ultra party, whose organs in such critical circum stances do not spare the august person of the King, It is a mistake, however, to suppose that the party of the Eider is resigned and w ithont defence. On the contrary its organs resume their habits of oio•, lence, although events are so unfavourable to them. This may be seen by the energy with Nthich the Dagblad attacks M. Berner-Sehilden and his address." FRANCE. "We have reason to know," says the France, "that M. Drouyn de Lbuys a few days since ad dressed to the representatives of France at Vienna and Berlin a despatch intended to be communicated to Count de Rechberg and Count de Bismark. In that document the French Government expressed a wish that the two German Powers may, in the ne gotiations opened with Denmark, be actuated by sentiments of moderation of a nature to render an honourable arrangement easy, which course would be suitable to the situation of Prussia and Austria.' Advises from the chestnut growing districts are generally good. The trees blossomed well, and the fruit is already abundant and well formed ; a fine month of August is therefore all that is required to produce a heavy crop.

Little indeed has been attempted, but nothing has been done. Not a single new law of the slightest importance will be added to the statute-book, There is no law reform, there is no measure promoting social progress, there is no politi: cal improvement. Legislation has come at last to a dead lock. The few proposals that have been submitted to Par liament have been so erroneous in principle, or so ill-con structed, as to be incapable of amendment. A whole year of precious time has been wasted, and promises often re peated have been again broken, without even a regret or an apology. The Government lays the blame on the Par liament, and the House of Commons puts it upon the people, and perhaps all are in fault. Apologists try to console us with the impudent' assertion that we have too many laws already, and that a cessation of law making for a few years would be rather an advantage than otherwise, and reckless parti sans seize upon this folly, and paraee it as if it were pro foundest wisdom. But it is a palpable fallacy. True, that we have too many laws, and that it is most desirable to re duce their number; but the object of all modern law reform is to do this. The improvements required would not add to the bulk of the statute book, but vastly diminish it. Every re form substitutes ono rational law for 50 law s that either aro irrational or have become obsolete, or are unfitted for the requirements of modern society. To say, therefore, that by a do-nothing session we are merely preventing an undesir able addition to the laws that are already too numerous, is almost worse than a fallacy, for those who use it cannot have so imposed upon themselves. It is the device of un scrupulous partisans in the press who desire thus to excuse the indolence of their patrons. ANOTHER PATTI !--A contemporary says that a brother of the world-famous songstresses has arrived in Will wb is a it very clever violinist," Cardinal Gonsalvi's Introduction to the First Consul, " At the appointed hour," writes the Cardinal himself in his Memoirs, "the Master of the Cere monies of the Court arrived at my hotel, as the Abbe Bernier had apprised me; he took me in his carriage, and, alone with him, I arrived at the Tuileries. I wes introduced into a room on the ground floor, called the Ambassadors' Salon. The Master of the Ceremonies told me to remain there a moment till he should give notice of my arrival. I remained alone, seeing nothing around me but a profound solitude. Without doubt they had intro duced me purposely into this silent and deserted quarter of the palace in order that at every step my surprise might be greater and greater, &so the feel ing of embarrassment which naturally ought to have resulted from it. And, in fact, the Master of the Ceremonies, returning a few moments after, and having announced to me that I could pass on to the interview with thePirst Consul, showing me by a sign of the hand a little door which opened on the vestibule of the great staircase of the palace, I experienced really the same surprise which a sud den change of scene causes at the theatre when out of a cottage, a wood, a prison, or from any similar situation, we pass to the dazzling spectacle of a Court the most magnificent and the most crowded. It was the day, as I since learnt, when the levee at the Tuileries took place, which at that period was repeated every fortnight, and at which were pre sent the three Consuls who formed the Government, the heads of the State—that is to say, the Senate, the Tribunate, the Legislative Body, the dignitaries of the palace, the Mlniaters, Generals, and other functionaries—and an immense number of the mili• tary and of spectators. The First Consul wished me to be present at the audience for the first time on this solemn occasion, in order to give me, as I believe, an idea of his power, inspire me with as tonishment, and, perhaps, also with fear. It will not be difficult to imagine that a person arrived at Paris the night before, without having received notice, without knowing anything of the usages, the customs, or the dispositions of the personages in whose presence he was about to appear, and who was looked upon as in some sort the responsible author of the bad result of the negotiations carried on till then, should, at sight of such a parade, as imposing as it was unforeseen, experience profound emotion and even visible embarrassment. Not being able to imagine that my first interview would be accorded in public, and entirely unaware of the cir. cumstance of the ceremony of this levee, I thosght the crowd that filled the vestibule and the staircase had come from a motive of curiosity, having learnt (without my being able to guess how) my preseota- ,on at the Tuileries. The sound of the drums on the upper steps of the staircase, the apartments and antechambers filled with personages in rich attire, the great dignitaries who crowded them, and whom it was impossible not to recognise from their costume and bearing, penetrated me with a continually increasing surprise, I arrived at last in an apartment where I saw a personage alone, who advanced towards me and bowed without saying a word; then, accompanying and preceding me, he introduced me into a neighbour ing room. I did not then know who this person age was, bat I learnt aftewards that he was M. de Talleyrand, Minister of Foreign Affairs, a name too well known in the annals of the Revolution for my needing to add anything to it here. I thought he was going to introduce me into the First Consul's cabinet, and I calmed myself with the hope that I could at last be alone with him, But what was my surprise when, this last door thrown open, I saw, in a vast apartment, a multitude of personages, ranged in order, as if for theatrical effect ! At the back of the room were seen, in symmetrical array, the different bodies of the State (which were, as I since learnt, the Senate, the Tribunate, the Legis lative Body, and the high tribunals of the magia tracy), and, on each side, generals, officers of every rank, Ministers, great State functionaries, and, in front of every one, detached and isolated, three per sonages, whom I knew later to be the three Con suls of the lOpublic. The person who was in the middle advanced, alone, some steps towards me, and it was only by conjecture that I felt that it was Bonaparte, a conjecture speedily confirmed by the attitude of the Minister Talleyrand, who, although al ways at my side, presented me to him. I then wished to say something by way of compliment, and to speak to him on the subject of my journey; but he did not give me time, for I was hardly near him when he addressed me at once, and said in a quick tone, know the object of your journey to France. I wish the conferences to be opened immediately. I give you five days' time, and I warn you that if, on the expiration of the fifth day, the negotiations are not terminated, you must return to Rome, as I have already made up mind in view of such an hypothesis.' Such were, without a word more, the first words that Bonaparte addressed to me with en air which was neither affable nor rude ; then he remained silent awaiting my answer. I then said, That the sending by his Holiness of his principal Minister to Paris was a proof of the interest he took in the conclusion of a Concordat with the French Government, and that I flattered myself with the hope of being sufficiently happy t 6 terminate it in the space of time which he desired.' Whether it was that this first answer was not displeasing to him, or that he had not conceived a too unfavourable idea of me on perceiving that, with the grace of God, I was not embarrassed by the unusual spectacle of this imposing parade, or, again, that he had resolved beforehand to do, after our meeting, what he did in fact do, certain it is after this exchange of words he entered suddenly upon the subject, and during more than halt an.hour in the same attitude, and in presence of every one, he spoke o f the Concordat, of the Holy See, of reli gion, of the existing state of things, and even of the rejected articles, with inexpressible vehemence and fluency, w ithout, however, any anger or harshness of language." STATE OF TRADE, MANCHESTER, July 22.—The market for shipping yarns since Tuesday has assumed a very quiet aspect, and we haVe had little or no change to day. There has been a little inquiry for yarns for some of the distant markets, and also for the Medi terranean. Buyers for Germany and Russia have done some little business in yarns of good quality, for which they have had to pay extreme prices. The market on the whole closes rather quiet. For home trade yarns the market lads been quiet, but firm. Although but little business has been done, there is no change in prices. The small stock cf cotton in Liverpool has, of course, a tendency to keep prices firm here. The cloth market continues much in the state described on Tuesday. There is very little business doing for any market, and yet cloth keeps very firm. Manufacturers hold to former quotations, which are still much behind what the rate for cotton and yarn would justify, but at the same time buyers show the same timidity and want of confidence which has so long kept them from following the upward tendency of the market. The business done since Tuesday has been exceedingly small. The India telegrams are expected to-morrow. CARDIFF, 21st.—Scarcity of water causes serious inconvenience and loss at the works on the hills, and partial stoppages have been the result in several instances; The ironmasters have a good number of orders on the books, and the trade generally is in a fairly satisfactory state. Since the last Staf fordshire meeting prices have been rather unsettled, but owing to the reduction by the Staffordshire houses, buyers are able to place their specifications for Welch iron at from 2s 6d to 5s per ton lower than a month ago. There is a moderate amount of business doing in steam coal, and the reports from the foreign markets are encouraging as to the future. Quotations are not quite so firm, although no material reduction has taken place- -11311 " coal commands co ke shows no an average sale, and NoTTINGITAm, change. 221—There was about the usual attendance at this Exchange-hall to-day, and the demand for lace yarns was firm, at fully late rates. The demand for hosiery yarns was slow, but ex treme prices were maintained. Silks were quite as dear. For brown nets the demand was only moderate, bat sellers held for a small advance, Which was diffi.utilt tt) 4 , rThl,,,, ;Ii(r o ~..,„ 0 , Cart - Tirsigg HER MAJESTY, OSBORNE, July" 22.

It is probable that Pb mark will be represented by two statesmen 10 1 belong to the present cabinet, M. de Moltke an M. de Quaade, ministers without portfolios. Fran ce ! which aided Denmark to place herself in comen ll3l cation with the German powers, and assisted 1n . sketching out the first negotiations, now holds O M . pletely aloof. The choice of the city whe re tb ; negotiations are to take place sufficiently ind icate d this ; in default of this proof one would be fe n° in the susceptibility with which Germany repels tl3O idea of all interference in a question which she e9-„ 0 siders exclusively her own affair, whether by Eur. or by a great power. Denmark herself, raoreo/e13..1. can only gain by throwing herself upon the gene rosity which her weakness imposes upon her 9d. versaries, and the control which their div er g e°• interests will exercise over their conduct t ° wards her. We do not mean to say, bo lr ever, that France remains completely jed“ °- ; : ferent, although she does not act. The plan of eventual absorption of Denmark by the Confe de : ration and that of a material aggrandiseme nt o f Prussia forbid her to do so. Independently of tie e reservations upon this point already made by 01 i.,0 Chancellery of M. Drouyn de Lhuys, mention made of a fresh circular of that minister resp ect i ng the negotiations now open, and in which, occupYle.',. himself specially with the future governm ent of te:f duchies, he indicates, it is said, the consul tation o f the wishss of the populations as the sole tneaDsthe settling the rival claims to the sovereignty e l a l new state. This view is also that of the 'l ber ia . papers of Germany, especially of those w hich pear in the duchies. Organs of the sentiments r 9 their fellow-citizens, they show them to us as vein weary of the state of prolisonal administratiolladi which the conquering powers hold them, an d re e ns to rise against every attempt to impose upon . b a it any other sovereign than the candidate of 01 choice, Prince Frederick of Augustenburg."
